I was told that these were white sex link and jersey red. I have never heard of Jersey red and Google isnt helping. The white one has a humongous comb and big ole earlobes. Im kind of thinking they may be white leghorn and buff orpington. Any ideas?
 
Well, there is no such thing as a "white sex link" (though, red sex link males do feather in white with red markings). The buffs are pretty much classic Orpingtons and the white looks like a Leghorn to me.
 
Thanks for confirming, I figured as much. Im enjoying getting to knkw them and my disappointment about the second orpington not being a barred rock like it was supposed to be is fading because they are so sweet.
 
The white bird is a White Leghorn, and the other two are Buff Orpingtons. Leghorns are very productive, so you should get lots of eggs, and Buff Orpingtons tend to be hardy, gentle birds.
